Programs & Centers

UCLA Law’s reputation as a learning institution of the highest caliber can be traced directly to the work of our exemplary institutes, centers and programs. Critical race studies, human rights, climate change and the environment. Business, entertainment and technology. With more than 20 interdisciplinary centers of excellence, we are at the forefront of the quest for deeper knowledge and meaningful change that can address the major challenges confronting society today.

The “creative commons” generated by these institutes, centers and programs serves as an incubator of intellectual thought that allows influential research to flourish. Within this environment, we have consistently produced groundbreaking scholarship on law and policy. We are proud that our initiatives have gained public respect nationwide not only because we are concerned about the study of law, but also because we are committed to changing people’s lives for the better.
